Rep. Mark Kirk begs for Sarah Palin endorsement, but scoffs at Glenn Beck: ‘He’s a very interesting guy.’
Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL), who is seeking the Senate in 2010, has been running to the far right to appease his base and win the Republican primary. Kirk has been actively seeking Sarah Palin’s endorsement, hoping she will burnish his right-wing credentials. However, when ThinkProgress interviewed Kirk Thursday, he seemed tepid about accepting an endorsement from popular hate radio talker Glenn Beck:
TP: How about Sarah Palin? How close are you to getting her endorsement?
KIRK: We sent a memo detailing the race, and she’ll be coming in to Chicago shortly.
TP: How about Glenn Beck, if he offered you his endorsement, would you accept that?
KIRK: Uhh, he’s a very interesting guy. I don’t think he’s endorsing any candidate though.
TP: He endorsed Hoffman, you don’t want him to endorse you?
KIRK: So, it’s been nice seeing you.

Mark Kirk can kiss the Senate seat goodbye with this seeking out of the Palin endorsement in this blue state. He lost all the middle of the roaders on this one.
Got to love McKenna (GOP) for Governor TV ads, he shows past indicted Governors, Walker, then George Ryan with Blago hair, then a shot of Blago, then the State Capital with Blago hair! His ad is Hair today gone tommorow. I was working at the health club when this ad came on and I laughed so hard I almost fell off the elliptical! and I just saw the ad with no sound.
